The Botox™ treatment for vaginismus offers a solution that allows patients struggling to overcome the pain and fear caused by vaginismus. This procedure can take between 2-3 days.
A patient is put under conscious sedation for the procedure which takes approximately 20 minutes. This is extremely useful for women who cannot allow a doctor to touch their genitals in order to conduct an exam.
Once the patient is sedated, the doctor administers a topical anesthetic in the vaginal walls along with a massage to break any spasms the introital muscles. This procedure is then followed by injections of Botox™.
The anesthesia and massage allow the muscles to relax so that a large dilator can be inserted while the patient is under sedation. The patient awakens with the dilator in place.
There is a recovery and rest period after the procedure. During that time a patient is taught to remove and re-insert the dilators and she is sent home with the dilators and instructions.
Follow-up visits are scheduled for the next day and, depending on the distance you have traveled, a follow up treatment plan is developed.
